    About 5 years ago I was shopping at Barnes and Noble and in the $4.99 section they had a red dot sale 50 percent all. Picked up all the Black Sabbath Ozzie cds at that time.

    Saw Jeff Beck in concert last night. He and his band (Vinnie Colaiuta/drums, Rhonda Smith/bass, Vanessa Freebairn-Smith/cello, Jimmy Hall/vocals) were as terrific as always. Beck gets sounds out of his guitar that only others can possibly imagine.

    Ann Wilson of Heart opened the show. Craig Bartok, long-time Heart guitarist (and a talented one) used four different guitars in their set. Beck used only one, an Olympic White Strat with rosewood fingerboard and reversed headstock. Amazing that in nearly 90 minutes, he never needed to tune or swap instruments!

    Since I saw Jeff Beck in concert Monday night, and I have a plumber over to do some improvements, and I learned he's a bass player, I've got Beck's 2016-2017 Baloise Session concert playing on my smart HDTV via YouTube. A nice TV with a sound bar... mmmmm.

    For nearly twenty years I've been a "member" of Wolfgang's, going back to when it was known as Wolfgang's Vault. I've gone for long lengths of time not listening to anything on it. Wolfgang's is, by Wikipedia's description, "a private music-focused company established in 2002 dedicated to the restoration and archiving of live concert recordings in audio and video format and the sale of music memorabilia." The catalog of live concert recordings from the 60s, 70s and later is astounding! So are the posters, concert tickets and other artifacts!

    Spending time in my car today with nothing of interest on the radio I dropped into the Vault and am listening to
    Derek and the Dominoes Live at the Fillmore East, October 23, 1970. The band lineup is leftover Delaney & Bonnie & Friends: Carl Radle (bass), Bobby Whitlock (keyboards, vocals), Jim Gordon (drums), Eric Clapton.

    I have to say it's not the most mesmerizing concert I've ever heard, particularly not of Eric Clapton, but there are a lot of extended jam tracks, and they're fun to listen to.

    I hope that there isn't anyone on TFF that hasn't heard this song, but if so... please give it a listen. In my life, I've never heard a Telecaster put through it's paces to this degree. I strongly urge the good people here to give this one a listen. It's absolutely jaw-dropping imo. Enjoy!

    I saw Danny Gatton play at the Wolf Trap Jazz and Blues Festival many years ago. I was so close to him I could have touched him. In fact, he "touched" me when he grabbed a beer bottle to use as a slide and it splashed me and other audience members.

    Gatton is in my list of guitar heroes that I'm glad I've seen in person.

    Oh man... That's fantastic. I can't imagine! Every single thing that I've heard from him is simply amazing. Talent on top of talent.

    He's rarely discussed in the guitar forums and sites I frequent, but he never fails to put on a good show. When I come across such a recorded show, I find myself settling in for 90 minutes or so of stellar guitar work. When I saw that Carlos Santana was joined by John McLaughlin in this video, I couldn't help myself. I had to put everything aside and enjoy!

    I just got the Super Deluxe 6 CDs of The White Album and loads of demos and alternate takes. It’s fascinating. 27 demos on acoustic guitars and all those songs were fully formed for the most part. Some of them are better than the track on the album.

    Lately I've been listening to Beach House, Sunflower Bean, Sex Clark 5 and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

    I won a bet because of this album last week. I was having this argument with my bandmates about what musicians wore back in the 60s and one of them stated that Chuck Taylors weren't worn outside basketball courts and boxing gyms until the late 70s. I proved him wrong with that cover.

    Best shoes on stage anyway as they are still rubber and great isolation from shock.
    I see these kids playing barefoot and laugh. Wait until they get hit on the lip with an ungrounded mike!

    Today, sitting in my chair out front watching the world go by, I was dialed in with a dose of Iron Maiden Number of the Beast. As loud as my poor little boombox could go! Hope my hairball hillbilly neighbor south of me liked it. Ha! Tomorrow, if its not raining, pipes & drums by the Scottish Rogues!
    I forgot what I was going to say...

    I won't go so far as to call your bandmates ignorant, but I'll have you know Chuck Taylors were "kicks" long before they became basketball shoes. At least to me -- my friends and I as kids wore Keds and Converse and never had a minute to mind what the basketball players were wearing.

    Re: The Official TFF "what are you listening to?" thread

    I just had a really interesting day listening to music. There was a new show on this week that had a killer '80s soundtrack, which kind of surprised me as I wasn't really into a lot of the '80s music in its day. Not that I wasn't exposed to it but I definitely did not see any of the bands in their salad days and never really considered myself a fan per se.

    "Too young to die" and "The Holy Hour" made me want to listen to Agent Orange and The Cure, particularly the latter. I signed up for Spotify premium and will try to justify spending 10 dollars a month after the trial runs out. I'd have to listen to a hell of a lot of music specifically stuff I don't have i.e. '80s stuff. If I find I do, great. I might even use it for a few months to explore music basically 'new' to me and expand my palette. Some of those Cure songs are superbly written and I have been getting into a more atmospheric sound playing around with delays in Garageband that reminds me of that era.
